Remote Control Crustaceans Give You a Bad Case of Crabs

If you’ve followed Technabob for any period of time, you know that we love our quirky Japanese gadgets around here. The latest weird and wacky gizmo to turn up from our friends to the East? Remote-controlled crabs.

Yep. The Kani Crab RC Toy simulates the movements of a real crab, skittering around the table with its legs bouncing about. Though the blinking LED eyeballs blow its cover a bit.

You can even choose from a “fresh” dark colored crab, or a bright red one that looks like it just spent some time in a boiling pot of water.

You can get your hands of the Kani Crab RC Toy over at the Japan Trend Shop for $35(USD) – or if you happen to live in Japan, you can get your crabs from JTT. I can only imagine the fun you could have with your friends the next time you go to a seafood restaurant.
